The 391 may be the best of the Beretta’s for balance and handling.

Both are high quality guns. Choose the one you like. I’d buy the A300 for half the money. No turkey or goose would know the difference. I saw an A300 Camo 20ga yesterday for $750 brand new. I didn't buy it because my wife was with me. She doesn't love the guns like I do. I don't have anything to add to this thread, I remember this post and wanted to lament not buying it. I bought a camo A300 20ga this fall from Palmetto State Armory. It was $699 with free shipping. I didn’t really need it, but was too good to pass up.

I feel like I didn't know how much I needed it until I saw it was $750. I told my wife I could miss all kinds of birds with that thing, way better than I miss with my other shotguns.

I have only had the Beretta gas gun. A 391 sporting I bought in 2000 to shoot sporting clays with, softer recoil. Since then I have used it for everything from doves to turkey. Always works, doesn’t jam with any loads including 1oz target reloads. Shoot turkey loads every spring works great and recoil is a lot softer than my O/U. I really like it, so my vote would be the Beretta. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/1tPxbLtc/IMG-1570.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/KzQWwjCx/IMG-1607.jpg) Very cool way of preserving beard/spurs! I don't have either of those specific guns but a Beretta A390 12 gauge and a newer A300 20 gauge have been very reliable for me.

You should really find a way to shoot the model shotgun you are thinking of buying. I was thinking about buying a beretta auto a couple of years ago. My best friend has one and hates it. I borrowed his for a dove hunt. I couldn't hit a thing with it. 20 shots and never hit one dove. Swapped back to mine and started downing birds. I completely lost interest in a Beretta 300 after trying his.

Thanks, I saw a picture of spurs and beards done this way and just copied it. I have a few now and like it better than fans and beards on a plaque. Doesn’t take up as much room. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/V6Hq9H09/IMG-1595.jpg)
